Why flamethrower on Strumpios?

I think it's fair to give Spios flamers, giving them for volks would cause mayhem since they're so spammable, you can easily make 6 volks and have 3 shreks and 3 flamers which would be pretty much unstoppable

And making another squad of sturms is almost a must once you get to the late game since you have to have more repairing power etc

Mainline infantry with flamers was a bad idea from the get go, so I think it's good that we won't have what will essentially be Axis Rifle Company.

Because it would be broken OP on volks.

Also, Rifles cost more, aren't cheap to reinforce and can't access best AT handheld weapon in game.

I know it Katitof. It might work good on strums, or maybe not.
We just don't know how good actually it will perform. This is just a mild discussion.

Cost is irrelevant. Then why pios and combat engis can upgrade flamethrower?

What's weird is unlike USF, OKW isn't a faction with 1 mainline infantry and nothing else, but people still want to play them as USF.

Think this: Volksgren with flammenwerfer + Flamm Grenade Kappa. Kills every shit without any hard feelings.

Every faction has one mainline infantry, man.
Do you count Ober or Sturms as a mainline infantry?

We'd see the old Volks blobs once again if this was available to Volks, and I hope we are are over those days now. My main problem is it still doesn't solve the near useless nature of Volksgrenadiers vs infantry unless you want to spend all your munitions, so I tend to go Special Operations nowadays because I can at least have useful infantry that have cheap grenades, otherwise you rely entirely on that incendiary grenade.

USF Rifle Company already grants Riflemen to have flamethrowers.
